I have posted this answer several times, it is in the archives. IN any case, just slap the disk in your drive, and run scsiformat -w on it and low level format it. That will wipe out whatever it is on there that makes it look R/O. There may be a simpler solution, but sometimes a sledgehammer is easiest. On Fri, 27 Mar 1998, Larry S.
